Brief Glance Over The

1 believe the year i940 will be one that we will look back upon in future years as .the .turning point in a definite trend towards QITMCI‘ prosperity for the fox Iarlnci‘. During the seasons of 1937-38-39 enormous quantities of pelts were thrown on the markets of the world. Not all of those of- fered for sale were produced in those years but in 1938-38 par- tzcularlr. a great proportion of the over-simply was caused by the cut- ting clown of ranch animals. It is only this season that the full force

of the consequences of that cut

Situation That Confronts

from our observation or adults and pups that have come from the west this season we are convinced that we still can produce better quality fur than they do in Wcst- ern Canada. Foxes brought here and kept only a few weeks show- ed such a marked intprovetnetit as t0 be truly astonishing. There is, after all, something in this clim- ate that makes for perfection of fur, but we rnust get on an aver- age more size and that can be acquired by heavier feeding in the

earlier months of the pups life We must also take greater care oi our foxes, spending more time and work on them and studying more their breeding and nutrition- al requirements. The diversiﬁcation of types due to the introduction of white faces. near-platinums or platinums, is.[ l

contrary to what a great many thought. going to have an eticoilr- aging effect on breeders. They have perked up and are taking a new interest. It is not that all of them expect to produce platinums.

(L. W. Hancock, President of the P. E. I. Fox Breeders’ and Ex-

hibitors’ Association) There is one week out of the year

that every keen breeder of fur ani- mals looks forward to frcm one end

Show Week.

There is nothing that causes a rancher to keep on his toes more than to know he is going to dis- play before the public eye the best of the fruits of his yeai-‘s libor. He knows his animals will be close- ly scrutinized by the Judges and by the visiting public. He knows most of all that his fellow breeders, or his competitors if you please, will particularly have an eagle eye on his animals. The amount of money to be won or the amount of adver- tislng to be had from showing are incidental. The other points men- tioned are stingers alongside, which spurs every showman to plan and

work tooth and nail not a few days

or a few weeks, but the full 12 months of the year-
